Congratulations on your new pup acquisition.  Looks like the pup is pleased with his new human acqusition as well.  He is a fine looking and uniquely marked hound dog mix.

[You might be a prepper if...]

Yeah it's all fun and games until things get sparse and someone may shoot you in the back for a can of possum sardines, stale crackers or your last coin of the land.

Live fire demos?

I wonder what the marketing guys at Beretta were thinking when they rolled out their heavy 50 BMG rifle and named it after a genus of black birds, like crows and ravens and such?

Check this thread and see if it will help you.

There are a couple of ways to do it but the easiest way is to just drill them out.  The hole that is left will not interfere with any function and if you decide to operate in wet environment you have extra drain holes.

Not the R51 but I saw yesterday that CDNN has the RM380 and RP9 on sale for $169.99. I’m thinking Remington should have just stuck with long guns...

Or maybe just the pistol line in the way of XP 100's.

[Another story from my past.................]

I was never a Shelby County resident but two of my college buddies went to med school in Memphis.  I spent a many of weekends visiting during that time and almost always included a trip to a range near an old landfill.  Inmates in prison stripes were there working.  I guess your term of range attendants is more fitting. We sent a lot of lead into the backstop at that range until one weekend they told us we had to give them the make, model and serial number of everything we plan to use on the range form then on.  We did not stay and never went back.

Many years ago I spent many Saturday morning at the old Shelby County Rifle and Pistol range near Memphis. 

Is this the one that was on top of a land fill and all the range workers (Except the RO's) were inmates from the Shelby county jail?

[Do you tip your barber?]

I never really gave much thought about tipping until I took a vacation to Australia, 20 plus years ago.  While reading up on things to know one of things discussed was tipping.  It seems that the practice of tipping is a very American thing.  At that time in Australia, tipping was not expected in the service industry and doing so may have been construed as an insult.  I know times and cultural norms are changing so I have no idea if this is still true.  So as for things changing the person that cuts my hair has not in many years.  During the early years I tipped but on the low side. After years of visiting the same person I know just about everything there is to know about my barber, her lifestyle, spending habits, her wants and most of all her needs.  Since I've worked like a dog for over 35 years, my disposable income has moved to a higher level and I will leave an above average tip if I feel like the person providing the service has earned or given me good cause to.

Always tip my barber.  Anybody that uses a straight edge razor on my neck I want to keep happy.

Now all I can think of is this and yes I do tip her very well.

This is very interesting. Excuse my ignorance, but, what is the purpose of the crimp at the bottom of the .44 Colt and the .50 Rem. in the last pic?

I was not  familiar with this priming method either and had to do some research.  I hope this helps.

BENET-PRIMED - A common style of inside-primed car-tridge developed by Col. S.V Benet commander of Frankford Arsenal in the late 1860s. It was used extensively in early U.S. military ammunition. A copper or iron cup was secured inside the head of the case by characteristic crimps. This cup served as an anvil to enable the firing pin to activate the priming mixture and also to reinforce the head of the case.

[TWD Season 8]

I was very disappointed in the over hyped 100th episode / season premier.  I could go into details but the main problems have been covered so far.  I am always over critiquing these things.  Then it hits me that I may have more than average knowledge on some of the props and situations they get into and most of all  TWD is a fictional story made for entertainment.

[$200 in ammo gone in 3 seconds :(]

The question everyone wants answered is, did he shoot the red star out of the center the target and win the big stuffed animal?  

[Skeletonized Handstop]

My take is that it depends on the application and the intended use.  Every target rifle I ever saw or used the hand stop was used to hold the hand from forward movement and proper use of a sling would lock your hand into the hand stop and the sling pulls the rifle into your should tight if done properly.   Now a days in tactical scenarios when you are running and gunning the technique is to pull with the offhand so haveing the hand stop behind makes sense as well.

Yeah but then again I've been in line with 1 or 2 customers ahead of me using credit/debit cards, especially the ones with the new chips meaning several attempts to make it work take up much more time than I can write a check.

[Do you carry cash?]

Depending on the amount of the transaction and who I'm conducting business with my order of preference is cash, check and then plastic.  Yeah, I still write checks!
